Metal Gear Solid V has easy controls, a great camera, and. Older Metal Gear Solids had baffling controls, odd camera angles, and an incomprehensible story. Particularly diehard fans might be miffed at how far The Phantom Pain has strayed from the formula established by Hideo Kojima's first few Metal Gear Solid games, but in my eyes, just about every change is welcome. It has been wonderful.Īfter more than 30 hours with the newest Metal Gear Solid, I'm convinced that Phantom Pain is the best Metal Gear yet, a game with extraordinary scope, inimitable style, and some of the most satisfying sneaking and creeping I've ever performed either in a video game or IRL. I've infiltrated bases, crippled soldiers, and taken four showers.


I've been sneaking and shooting through deserts and forests. Plus if you do, you'll have less of a wait for The Phantom Pain.For the past few days, I've done very little but play Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, a new video game made by the well-known spa company Konami. If you're not desperate to dive back into MGS then you may as well wait for a price drop I suppose but I couldn't wait. Sure its all in the same environment but im having a lot of fun with it, experimenting and trying to find out the audio tapes which reveal more of the story.īy the time I get bored of this I will have more than got my £25 worth out of it and even then I know ill replay the story mission countless times just like ive played all the other MGS games over and over. Ive probably been playing it for 5 or 6 hours and im just starting to scratch the surface. There's other missions you can do after that which can take you an hour each and some of them are a hell of alot of fun and there are alot of collectibles and extra content to be found within each mission. I finished it in 80 minutes on my first playthrough. If you just want it for the story then I'd say wait for a price drop because for the vast majority of players most people finish the main mission in well under 2 hours.
